It is useful for routers in an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing domain to
know the capabilities of their neighbors and other routers in the
routing domain. This document proposes extensions to OSPFv2 and
OSPFv3 for advertising optional router capabilities. A new Router
Information (RI) Link State Advertisement (LSA) is proposed for this
purpose. In OSPFv2, the RI LSA will be implemented with a new opaque
LSA type ID. In OSPFv3, the RI LSA will be implemented with a new
LSA type function code. In both protocols, the RI LSA can be
advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link, area, or
autonomous system (AS)). [STANDARDS TRACK]
